That was the year that was 2013

There are two weeks left of 2013, but with Christmas coming up I doubt I
will finish anything else this year, so here is my sum it up post for 2013. It
has been a very good costuming year for me, I have finished if not all, at
least a large amount of my UFO’s and I have also finished a few other projects
as well. I also got to see Sanna of Rococo Atelier again and also meet Merja of
Before the Automobile and Kendra of Démodé. It was so nice to see you all!

18th century

A pair of blue stays. Started in 2009. I have yet to take proper
pictures of it though.

When it comes to actual single pieces finished, I have taken 18 projects
to deadline. If you count ensembles, then I have finished 12. Even with the
lowest number this means I have finished at least one project every month. I’m
very pleased with myself!

This year I focused on my 18th century sewing, next year I
will focus on my poor neglected 40’s wardrobe. I hope I will be able to finish
as many projects as I did this year. I have also decided to try to participate
in The Historical Sew Forthnightlynext
year again. I didn’t do much this year, but now the cut off date is 1945
instead of 1938 which means I can fit my wardrobe project into it. I will also
aim to make the Swedish national gown and a 1650’s outfit for J. First I will finish
the 1640’s gown for me, though.

About me

Who am I? Happily growing older and trying to have as much fun in the meantime. Lives in the vicinity of Stockholm, mainly ruled by five cats. Sewing makes me happy, so I try to do it every day.
Writes about the 18th century and various other sewing projects in Isis’ Wardrobe and about creating a 1940’s wardrobe in Fashionably Forties.
